Wow, and we thought the U.S. gays went a bit wild here and there during the pandemic… Via The Strait Times:

Thai police said on Sunday (May 23) that they had arrested 62 men for breaching coronavirus restrictions in a raid on a gay “chemsex” party, the country’s largest such crackdown during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The men were arrested on Saturday night at Faros Sauna 2, where police also found drugs, needles and used condoms, said Police Colonel Ekapop Tanprayoon, superintendent of Bangkok’s Wang Thong Lang District police station.

“(In the past) we have reprimanded people for gathering to drink at home,” Mr Ekapop said. “But under the current circumstances, there shouldn’t be so many people in such a crowded area.”

The establishment reportedly boasts 50 bedrooms, a swimming pool, and a karaoke space.
